Favorite Rebellion And Revolution Quotes

1. "Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary."Author: Albert Camus

2. "It still would be years before I understood the seriousness of my change of view. Much later, I recognized it in "Revolution," the essay of Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski, who describes the moment when a man on the edge of a crowd looks back defiantly at a policeman — and when that policeman senses a sudden refusal to accept his defining gaze — as the imperceptible moment in which rebellion is born. "All books about all revolutions begin with a chapter that describes the decay of tottering authority or the misery and sufferings of the people," Kapuscinski writes. "They should begin with a psychological chapter — one that shows how a harassed, terrified man suddenly breaks his terror, stops being afraid. This unusual process — sometimes accomplished in an instant, like a shock — demands to be illustrated. Man gets rid of fear and feel free. Without that, there would be no revolution."Author: Gloria Steinem

3. "Revolution is progressive and seeks the strengthening of the state; rebellion is reactionary and seeks its disappearance.The revolutionary is a potential government official; the rebel is a reactionary in action."Author: Nicolás Gómez Dávila

4. "Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776."Author: Susan B. Anthony
